Getting Started

1. Install dependencies with npm install

2. Start the functions emulator with firebase emulators:start --only functions

   1. The emulator will output the function URL. It is usually of the form:
   Copy

   https://127.0.0.1:5001/{$PROJECT}/us-central1/tellJoke
   

3. Call the function from a terminal, replacing the url argument with your function's URL:

   bashCopy

   $ curl -X POST \
       --url https://127.0.0.1:5001/{$PROJECT}/us-central1/tellJoke \
       --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
       --header "Accept: text/event-stream" \
       --data '{"data": "Observational comedy"}'
